Henbury Hundred

Henbury Hundred was a subdivision of the county of Gloucestershire, England.

Hundreds originated in the late Saxon period and lasted as administrative divisions until the 19th century.

[1] It comprised the five ancient parishes of Henbury, Westbury-upon-Trym, Greenfield Compton, Stoke Gifford and Yate, except for the tithing of Kings Weston, in Henbury parish, which was included in the Hundred of Berkeley.

[4] The hundred was named after the tithing and parish of Henbury, which came from hēah burh, a high fortified place.

[5] At the time of the Domesday Book, the Hundred was known as Brentry (another settlement in Henbury parish) and had the same borders.
